Creation and Usage Notes

I can't help but feel this was inspired by German—by which, of course, I mean T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" (to wit, "Bin gar keine Russin, stamm’ aus Litauen, echt deutsch", whence I learned the word). And, of course, since T. S. Eliot came up organically, how 'bout that Cats movie, huh?
